Team Around the World in Eighty Days

[Rajiv]

Also, I am happy to say that I have been selected to post the DQs for the BOM "Pachinko by Min Jin Lee" on August 6! Yay, I'm very excited :D

[Silje]

Rajiv, I'm a bit unsure if mental health will be acceptable, I'll have to get back to you on that, or Ashleigh can answer if she knows.

So cool that you got selected for the DQs! I just saw that Pachinko had been chosen for the BOM. I have it on my shelf, so I might join that one=)

[Sophie]

I've had a slower reading week this week, hoping to get more reading done next week but we'll see.

[Kim]

completed a book for A. i've got a Y book for my camping trip in the next few days so i'll post that by thursday at the latest.

Perfect, Kim!=)

[Silje]

Woul you consider this a brown cover?

[Silje]

Vicki, can you add "A Quilt to Die For" to your shelf?=)

[Silje]

Rajiv, the book Cynthia Smart's Midwife Crisis doesn't have Chick Lit as an MPG, so you need to choose another task if you can=)

[Ashleigh]

Maritza do you have another task for Quiet Man? Don't think we can use it for circles on cover.

EDIT: I've used it for two people on cover. Do you want me to change this?

[Ashleigh]

Rajiv I've put your book Cynthia Smart's Midwife Crisis down for bird on cover. Do you want me to change this?

Hi Ashleigh / Silje

Sorry for the delay :D Yes please. Thank you :)

[Ashleigh]

HI Rajiv, yes you would like it changed, or yes it's fine as bird on cover?

LOL yes it is fine with the bird on the cover =D Thank you

[Ashleigh]

No worries haha, thank you :)

[Kim]

Completed my Y book! Hopefully can finish the other before this round is over!

[Vicki]

I'm curious if the round 3 books that didn't complete words can be moved to round 4 or do we just lose those books? I don't know if you captains are moving any around or if I should continue to add all the letters each book can fit because I'm not sure if any are being moved or not.

Do you think this book would work for the task of deck chair? I would use it, a rocking chair works. lol

Also, the countdown clock shows we have 27 days until the end of round 4, but is that right?

I did this awhile back and forgot to post it. For some reason it had 2 books listed and one had the shelf on it, the other didn't. I always end up with books saying I've read them twice when I haven't most of the time. I don't know how that happens. Also, it'll show read or currently reading when I haven't done either. It's annoying!

[Silje]

No, sadly, all books finished in round 3 are locked because of the read date.

We move some books from one word to another quite often, depending on who finishes their books first, but I change this in both spreadsheets when I do it, so there's not a visible difference on the worksheets. Regarding changing the letter a book is placed on, we don't do much of that until the last day and only if it is necessary to finish another word or get more points.

Not sure if a rocking chair is acceptable as a deck chair, I don't know how open the definition of a deck chair is=P, Ashleigh?

[Silje]

The check-in time is August 7, 10 pm UK time (so later today), so the timer you saw must have been wrong. Not sure if the timer has been updated. Ashleigh?
I've been a bit MIA this round because I'm in the middle of moving to a new place to go to school=)

[Ashleigh]

I'll update the timer when I get into work this morning

[Ashleigh]

Countdown to End of Round 4 <--- updated timer :)

It was too short anyway, but thanks.

[Silje]

We're almost at the finish line for round 4, how is that last-minute reading going for everyone?

I just finished Night Myst, which will be my last book this round=)

That happens to me too sometimes! I'm not sure why either, it might have something to do with edition on tbr list and the edition tagged as read? Or if you re-read a different version?

[Silje]

Speaking of, VIcki, can you check if the double incident has happened to Timeless too, I couldn't find it on your shelf=)

[Silje]

Check out our team spreadsheet, we have gotten our final word and tags!

[Vicki]

Silje wrote: "Speaking of, VIcki, can you check if the double incident has happened to Timeless too, I couldn't find it on your shelf=)"

Yes, it sure did along with 2 other books...grrr I fixed it. :)

[Vicki]

Silje wrote: "Check out our team spreadsheet, we have gotten our final word and tags!"

I'm a little confused. We have words where the books are not finished or marked as such. So don't we get to move them around so we can hopefully complete full words or am I mistaken how it works?

[Halli]

Sorry - these past 2 weeks have been nuts! We’ve been quarantining waiting for coronavirus results & having electrical issues that mean we have been staying with friends. I have had ZERO reading time with my 9 mo & 2.5 yo stuck in the house with us. Hoping to get caught up sometime next week!

[Ashleigh]

Vicki, Silje and myself move them around on the official spreadsheet to complete words so it shouldn't be much of an issue.

If you look at the proper team sheet (linked at the beginning of the chat), you'll see that the books are placed a bit differently there. Usually, I go back and move the books on the planning sheet so that they are the same as the team spreadsheet, but I haven't had time to do that with the last books I've added to the team spreadsheet=)

Sorry to hear that Halli! No worries, just as long as you are safe and healthy!

Wow, I feel for you, that sounds exhausting! I hope it turns out well in the end=)

[Logan]

Just finished Intrinsical and updated my entry on the sheet. Can be used for I or Y.

Hello team,

So sorry I have been MIA these last few weeks. I see on the sheet round 4 is now closed. I don't know where my head has been at, that updating for this has completely slipped my mind.

Am I still able to jump back in for the rest of the challenge?

[Silje]

Of course you can still play, Sarah, thanks for checking in=)

[Sophie]

Added in a last book

Oh my gosh, I see now. I'm so sorry. And I also feel really bad that I screwed up the X letter by not having enough pages. Ugh...I won't make that mistake again!

So any books that we had on Tab 4 I assume we can go ahead and add to tab 5 now? But we can't finish any of those until after the countdown clock ends, is that right?

Thanks for being so patient with me, Silje. :)

[Silje]

Yes, unfinished books from round 4 can be moved to round 5=)

[Vicki]

Silje wrote: "Yes, unfinished books from round 4 can be moved to round 5=)"

Thanks, Silje :)

[Vicki]

Silje, I finally got my book . Is it too late to get points for BOM if I do that one this week?

[Logan]

I had a finished book that wasn’t added to the official sheet. But we can’t use that this round right? It has to be finished after the new round starts?

[Silje]

No, you can still do the BOM and get points=) I haven't started reading it either=P

[Silje]

Yes, Logan, that's correct. Sadly, since we didn't have the X in our fifth word, that word counted as our incomplete word and any books placed at the sixth word wouldn't have counted anyway.

[Kim]

It doesn’t seem many of my Cr from last round are going to fit for this last round. I’ll be sure to give special selection once these are finished 😊

[Ashleigh]

I agree Kim. I thought this was going to be an easy round but these letters are hard man haha

[[deleted user]]

Hi team, I'm trying to add a book to the speadsheet but its stating its read only?

[Ashleigh]

Which spreadsheet is it Sarah? If it's the team spreadsheet, only Silje and I have access to that one.

But I believe the planning spreadsheet is available to everyone to edit. Link here if you need it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Perfect, thank you!!! I had the link saved, but my lap top died last week and I lost a lot of bookmarks
